CFC #121 and MUSE #45

I've been playing around with some of my new stuff and out of the play came a couple of cards.  Today's is for CASual Fridays where the cue is "use 8 of something"


and Muse where the inspiration card from Lucy looks like this:


One of the things included in the Simon Says Stamp Holiday Card Kit was the Ashlynn snowflake die and that's what I used for most of the card.


I cut 3 snowflakes from blue cardstock (it is actually lighter IRL) and mounted the panel on some white glitter paper from DCWV, putting in the blue centers.   Then I cut 3 snowflakes from the same paper and glued them on top of the panel.  I tried embossing one of my little snowflakes to make up the other two but they didn't look very good, so I cut two other snowflakes using my Cricut, and glued them over the top of the "mistakes".   The sentiment, stamped in Hero Arts Cornflower, is from My Craft Spot.

Thanks for stopping by.  Happy Creating!

Ohhh, this is so pretty! I love the way you alternated cutting flakes from the base and adding them as a top layer. What a creative idea!!

Such a clever interpretation of Lucy's card, to use the positive and negative cuts! Thanks for joining us at Muse this week, Bobby!

Such pretty little snowflakes! I love how some are cut out and some are the cut outs!

Love the dimension of your card Bobby! Thanks for your nice comment on the aging parents & best wishes to yours - I expect/hope my dad goes strong into his 90s.

This is a cool take on the challenge, Bobby! I really like the look of both positive and negative die cuts on a card front!! Hugs, Darnell
